“The Goal”

by E. Goldratt

The Phoenix Project

“Any improvement not made at the constraint is an illusion.”

What is the constraint?

“One of the most powerful things that IT can do is get environments to development and QA when they need it”

Problem in IT

60% Projects Over Schedule

85% delayed waiting for data

Data is the Constraint

CIO Magazine Survey:

Current situation: only getting worse … Data Doomsday

I. Data Constraint strains IT

If you can’t satisfy the business demands then your process is broken.

II. Data Constraint price is huge

I. Data constraint: Data floods company infrastructure

92% of the cost of business , in financial services business ,

is “data” www.wsta.org/resources/industry-articles

Most companies have 2-9% IT spending http://uclue.com/?xq=1133

Data management is the largest Part of IT expense

Part II. Data constraint price is Huge


• Four Areas data tax hits

1. IT Capital resources 2. IT Operations personnel 3. Application Development 4. Business

II. Data constraint price is huge : 1. IT Capital

• Hardware–Servers–Storage–Network–Data center floor space, power, cooling

II. Data constraint price is huge : 2. IT Operations• People

– DBAs– SYS Admin– Storage Admin– Backup Admin – Network Admin

• Hours : 1000s just for DBAs • $100s Millions for data center

modernizations

II. Data constraint price is Huge : 3. App Dev

• Inefficient QA: Higher costs of QA• QA Delays : Greater re-work of code• Sharing DB Environments :

Bottlenecks• Using DB Subsets: More bugs in Prod• Slow Environment Builds: Delays

#1 Biggest Enemy :

IT departments believe– best processes – greatest technology– Just the way it is


Why do I need an iPhone ?

Don’t we already do that ?


• Ask Questions– me: we provision environments in

minutes for almost not extra storage.– Customer: We already do that – me: How long does it take a developer to

get an environment after they ask ?– Customer: 2-3 weeks– me: we do it in 2-3 minutes


How to enlighten? Ask for metrics

– How old is data in• BI and DW : ETL windows• QA and Dev : how often refreshed

– How long does it take a developer to get a DB copy?

– How long does it take QA to setup an environment

Virtual DB71 / 30

Jonathan Lewis © 2013

Snapshot 1 – full backup once only at link time

a b c d e f g h i

We start with a full backup - analogous to a level 0 rman backup. Includes the archived redo log files needed for recovery. Run in archivelog mode.

Virtual DB72 / 30


Snapshot 2 (from SCN)

b' c'

a b c d e f g h i

The "backup from SCN" is analogous to a level 1 incremental backup (which includes the relevant archived redo logs). Sensible to enable BCT.

Delphix executes standard rman scripts

Virtual DB73 / 30


a b c d e f g h i

Apply Snapshot 2

b' c'

The Delphix appliance unpacks the rman backup and "overwrites" the initial backup with the changed blocks - but DxFS makes new copies of the blocks

b' c'

Virtual DB74 / 30


Derived Full Backup at Snapshot 2

b' c'a d e f g h i

The call to rman leaves us with a new level 0 backup, waiting for recovery. But we can pick the snapshot root block. We have EVERY level 0 backup

Virtual DB75 / 30


Creating a vDB

b' c'a d e f g h i

The first step in creating a vDB is to take a snapshot of the filesystem as at the backup you want (then roll it forward)

My vDB(filesystem)

Your vDB(filesystem)

Use Case Summary

1. Development2. QA3. Quality4. Business Intelligence5. Performance Acceleration

How expensive is the Data Constraint?

Measure before and after Delphix w/ Fortune 500 :

Median App Dev throughput increase by 2x

How expensive is the Data Constraint?

• 10 x Faster Financial Close• 9x Faster BI refreshes• 2x faster Projects • 20 % less bugs

Agile Data Quotes

• “Allowed us to shrink our project schedule from 12 months to 6 months.”– BA Scott, NYL VP App Dev

• "It used to take 50-some-odd days to develop an insurance product, … Now we can get a product to the customer in about 23 days.”– Presbyterian Health

• “Can't imagine working without it”– Ramesh Shrinivasan CA Department of General Services

Summary

• Problem: Data is the constraint • Solution: Agile data is small & fast• Results: Deliver projects

– Half the Time– Higher Quality– Increase Revenue

Future

Now• Application Stack Cloning• Cross Platform Cloning : UNIX -> Linux• Postgres

Coming• VM cloning• Workflows

– Chef, Puppet, etc workflows for virtual data provisioning

• Developer workspaces– Check out, check in, bookmark, tagging, rollback, refresh

• Secure Data– Masking

• More Databases– MySQL, Sybase, DB2, Hadoop, Mongo, Cassandra

• DR and HA
